Crockpot Directions
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, eggs, seasoning packet, salt (if desired), and water. Mix until well combined. Shape mixture into a loaf and place in the crockpot. Tip: Place 4 balls of foil in the bottom of the crockpot to elevate the meatloaf and prevent it from cooking in grease. Cover. Cook. During the last hour of cooking, brush the top with BBQ sauce or ketchup. Let rest a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
